Ireceived your article and letter. In what issue the article will be
printed I cannot tell as yet. I will let you know in a few days—though it
also depends on your reply about the article on Nekrasov.

Tospeed up the answer to the Union, I have done the following. V. I.,
L. Gr. and I agreed upon a draft reply and sent It to Julius (it is
important to discuss it there also with P. And.). Julius is to send you the
replyat oncetogether with my letter.

Ifyou approve of the reply, pass it on to Olkhin (and arrange for him
to keep in touch eitherthrough youor else give him the Richter
address. Better through you).

Ifyou do not agree with the answer, put precisely formulated
amendments (or a new text) to the vote at once, and tell Olkhin that things
are being held up somewhat because of the voting in a “scattered” board.

Iam very glad that you are writing an editorial on the
“Pseudo-Friends of the Proletariat” and in the introduction to Thun are
giving a trouncing to Tarasov (page from the history of socialist
thought). The introduction to Thun is of course the proper place for this.

Thebreakdown ofIskra’sAustrian channel is nonsense. So far
everything has been going well there withthreechannels
functioning. Dementyev is doing a fine job and writes regularly.

(Itwould be a good thing if you would summon also A. N. to cast his
vote on the letter to the Union, on the tactics of the 0. C. generally, and
on the election of members from us to the 0. C. Section
Abroad.[1])

Bestregards,Yours,Lenin

P.S.So I can expect the editorial in a few days? N’est ce pas?

P.P.S.Writewhatyou agreed upon with Olkhin.Were any
steps toward unity proposed and what exactly? Was there any talk ofBorba,Svoboda,Krasnoye Znamya?
